Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, a fierce critic of Donald Trump, said Sunday he will not run for the White House in 2024, after long positioning himself as a possible alternative to the former president.

Hogan, 66, wrote in The New York Times that while he appreciated “all those around the nation who have for many years encouraged me to run for president, after eight years of pouring my heart and soul into serving the people of Maryland, I have no desire to put my family through another grueling campaign just for the experience.”

Lol

[drSteve78]

just for the experience

Since he can see the obvious writing on he wall that he had no chance.

Good.

The ego and hubris of politicians isn’t lost on this fat cuckold.

There is not a such thing as Hogan Republicans.

He’s a local guy that locals kind of like, in an echo chamber where real freedoms don’t exist.

Larry Hogan knows that he couldn’t get elected dog catcher as a republican outside of MD.

[Az Joe]

He can run as a Dem, probably will.

[tennmountainman]

Trump would have Steamrolled the RINO Hogan.

[chopperk]

Smart move, he would not stand a chance against a brilliant, dynamic person like Trump. World leaders know and appreciate doing business with people like Trump.

I wasn’t planning on running either.

When you can’t win you home state in a primary, hang it up.
Join Flake, Jeb, Liz and the growing list of fools who paid more attention to donors than voters.

“I wasn’t planning on running either.”

Hahah he wasn’t going to be a challenge even if he did run

[DIRTYSECRET]

There’s always the Senate. I’d send him ten bucks-that’s it.

[Trueblackman]

There was a recent poll here in Maryland among Republican Voters on which primary candidates they would support. Poor Larry came in 3rd behind Don and Ron.

"..he appreciated “all those around the nation who have
for many years encouraged me to run for president..

All of two dozen supporters.

Being generous here.

[silverleaf]

One less loser not to vote for

[Nextrush]

Klaus has a job for Larry I’m sure.

[Deplorable American1776]

Darn it, he's not running...I guess he knows he'll only get the John Kasich people...

If not less... 🤓

[Puppage]

Who?

[vivenne]

Cuz, Fatso knows he can’t win. Or maybe he saw Trumps speech last night.
